A t-ompnr-HHor ls being Installed and Improvements made to the bulldlnga already theje, as well aa new bulldlnga being erected. Mr. Mcintosh reports the outlook at the property, where some rery high grade native copper was found Mm* time ago, Ib very satisfactory. Another very enthusiastic prohibition meeting was held ut tho Edison Theatre on Thursday evening of last week. The hall was vory well JUled, and in spite of repeated invitations, no speaker for the opposing Interests could be Induced to come out and take the platform, a fact thut seemed to presage well for election day. Rev. R. W. Lee acted as chairman for tbe evening, and the speakers were Mr. W. M. Armstrong, principal of tbe high school here, and Rev. J. P. Westman, of Nelson. Tho former presented the prohibition Issue in the clear, cold light of lntellectualism, speaking particularly from the standpoint of an educator. He mado out a strong case, and was very well received. Mr. Westman covered the ground more in the way of combatting the arguments of the opponents of prohibition, and was exceedingly forceful. The Herald regrets that in the haste of getting to press two days ahead of ita usual schedule It ls not possible to deal fully with them. Another big mass meeting, thc final wlndup in the campulgn. Is to take place this evening at the Edison, commencing at 8.30 sharp. Tlie speakers are to be Dr. Eber Crummy, M.A-, fD.Sc., D.D., of Moose Jaw, Mr. O. J. 'Spreull, Rev. R. W. Lee, and others. Dr. Crummy is In the city in connection witli the Methodist anniversary services, and the board of that church very generously released Dr. Crummy in order that he might throw his Intellectual weight ln the scales for prohibition, instead of having him fulfil lecture engagement for the church. | Word from the district is most en-1 couraglng as to the outcome of the j vote on Wednesday.

THESE HUNTERS BELIEVE IN SUPPLYING THE PROOF HERALD ISSUES AHEAD OF TIME THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF ELECTION For the reason that the Herald desires to make a last appeal to the electors to stand by their guns and support Prohibition tomorrow, the Herald Is Issuing on Tuesday, October 19. We consider the Issue of sufficient Importance to keep the electors advised and would call especially to their attention the encouraging message from the headquarters at Vancouver on this page today.

W. L. Mackeuzie King, leader of that party in Uie Dominion and Messrs. \V. C. Kennedy, M.P. for North Essex and Mr. Ernest Lapo-inte, M.P. lor Quebec. The party arrived here in a special coach attached to the regular east- bound train Monday ovculug, and only it few of tlie locnl Liberals seemed to be on hand to greet them. While here Mr. Lapolnte received a telegram to the effect that his sou was very ill, aud he muy Uud it uecee- sary to leave the party at Lethbrldge. It la hoped Mr. Lapolnte will get more encouraging newB at Lethbrldge. Hon. Dr. King, minister of works in tlte Oliver government of B.C., representing Cranbrook constituency, acted aa chairman of the meeting, and besides the visitors on the Btagc were several local liberals, among them being Mayor Genest .and Alderman Mackinnon. Messrs. Kennedy and Lapolnte preceded Hon. Mr. King with brief addresses, Mr. Lapolnte probably eliciting a greater amount of applause from lhe audience than any of the speakers because'of tbe numerous anecdotes he injected iuto his talk and the forceful manner In which he attempted to drive home hia arguments. Mr. Kennedy's remarks were very brief, but he got a good reception and le a good speaker. W(hen Mr. King wae introduced and advanced to the front of the platform, he was greeted with prolonged applause. He, as did the previous speakers, took occasion to throw some nice little bouquets in the direction of the chairman, and these must have mad* the Hon. Dr. King feel good In view of the fact that a provincial election appears ln the offing. Mr. King Bald tbat on entering the theatre he had been handed an Invitation from the Ladles Auxilary of the B.R.T. to bj jreFent with his -colleagues at a oanr-e they were giv!n( ..ml tbey would accept, and altho-jg.' the three consumed about three hou:-- turn, the pMly following tbe meting entered into the spirit of the danco. Hon. Mr. King also said that this, tbe last of their meeting, in B-C, in his opinion waa Ue place to mention tbe appreciation of his colleagues and himself for the very cordial receptions they had received everywehere. They had spoken to over 20,000 people in B.C. and had found that the bolshevist greeting they were warned they might receive waB absent; they had been very cordially reselved everywhere, and were deeply grateful; they could better deal with Western problems in parliament. He said that he had been Informed that his audience was made up largely of railroad men, and it waa them he promised some data of Interest la'.cr on. He regarded the 1911 election as the last real test of public opinion ln Canada, and referred to the large number of first voters at that election who had now attained seasoned maturity, and also the large number of men from overseas. A large number of foreign be.ni on the prairies had been refused the vote at the 1917' election, and a considerable group similarly treated in thla province. He referred also to the Important new body of electors, the women. Altogether theae elements constituted largely a new electorate, and it waB the duty of the government to give this new electorate a voice. He .pointed out the fundamental differences between the National Liberal and Conservative party and Conservative groups, and the great progressive groups, among whom he enumerated the Liberals, the Farmers, the Ijibor party and the G. W. V. A. He defined the difference by stating that these latter groups chose their lead- era and decided their policies by Do- mlnton-wlde conventions, while Premier Melghen war tht* choice of his /•Jf^f'as represented in parliament. Tho Liberal .party, ho regretted to say, had not always lived up to Its name, but the good intent wan always there, and it always came back. The Melghen government was not popularly chosen, and therefore waa usurping the ritkfe «f th* iMtfte. WbUtth-ftV-tt- T IE LOSING VOTE FAILURE TO VOTE WEDNESDAY MAY LOSE YOU PRIVILEGE LATER BEST TO BE ON SAFE SIDE IN ANY EVENT No Definite Ruling Yet Received from Attorney.General as far as Can be Ascertained The Herald's advice to electors is to vote in the plebiscite election on Wednesday, October 10. The question has beeu raised &* to whether a voter falling to vote on October 20, would be stricken from the present list. This list It Is generally understood will be used lu Uie Provincial flection, which from all reports available will be hold very soon, possibly tho latter part of November or the tlrst week in December. A recent ordor-in-council published in tlie Provincial tiaxett« gives the election on October 20th the same status as a provincial election for members of the legislature, and here is where the joker comes in. if one falls to vote in the election on the plebiscite, and r. court of revision is '..eld before tho provincial election take-; place — and this is a certainty soon — that tbe voter failing to vote could be stricken from the list. The elections act defines an election as "an election for members of the Provincial Legislature." But the or- der-in-councll supplements this and therefore, as above stated, such act- Ion in marking from the list delinquents in the preesnt contest could be teken. Tbe present act is very rigid In that electors cannot be approached on behalf of any issue or candidate on polling day. Voting will Lake place between the hours of eight a.m., and seven p.m. Rev. R. w. Lee has been appointed the agent for the prohibition party, and L. P. Sullivan Is acting for the moderationists. WHERE TO TOTE Returning Officer T. M.

Wycllffe, Yahk. pie were not consulted In Its establishment, a certain Influence that dared not ra'j.« its head because tt was not a great social force, was consulted. This was the invisible government, consisting ot the great interests. In the last few days, Mr. King said, there had been a revelation of at least one instance of an Interest that waa able to Influence an agency of the government, this reference being to the recent order by the commerce board prohibiting the Importation of sugar from across the American border. Could a board that was really In touch with parliament so aid a combine and act against the social interests of tbe country. Mr. King asked? It quenched the first gleam °' hope in the matter of a lowered cobI of living, and thin was only the last of a series of steps showing the government to be really profiteers, according to Hr. King, Instead of being tbe protectors of the people. The party to which the Liberals were opposed, he said, was not the old Conservative party. Its new name was used to cover the special groups welded together by special Interests. He urged that ttie various groups opposed to the union government, all ot whom had something In common, ought to unite on election day Instead of splitting their vote and thus permitting the government to retain Its position. What waa true of the sugar situation, Mr. King charged, was true also regarding wearing apparel, boots and shoes, and other articles of common use. One member of the board of commerce who had resigned had Bald that the government did not want a remedy. He had been on tho board (Onttntd oa Page IU. ri«i tw« THE CRANBROOK HERALD Just You Hear Tints Thursday, October 31, 1930 \i */(& timt VU*\ ■s ■ ■ '. Plays All Records at .■ '.

CRANBROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1920 EVERYONE'S DUTY To a few it may seem Bome- wbat drastic to threaten to drop a person's name from the voters' list in tho event of their failing to exercise the fran- chise to-morrow, lt may look like but one step removed from compulsory voting. Hut it Is not likely that any hardship will be created by this ruling. The only people who are likely to be stricken from tbe lists are those who from indifference or laziness do uot go to the polls. For those who can show a legitimate reason, such as sicKness, disability, or other thoroughly real, genuine alibi, it may reasonably be expected that some means will be devised whereby their names will be maintained ou the lists. Tbe idea underlying this new prov lsion of the elections act is un doubtedly to keep the lists ai far as possible purged from the dead timber that is at the same time a useless encumbrance and ln some cases a temptation to enter upon some questionable electioneering. Vote early. Don't wait to be taken to the polls in somebody's car. It is nothing to be proud of, that one has to be taken to vote in someone else's car. We ought to bave enough pride in our citizenship to want to exercise itB highest function without being solicited to drive to the polls, far less demanding lt. There are plenty of people who by reason of infirmity or age can justly expect conveyance to tbe polls, but for the average active voter to look for the privilege means tbat someone s good nature is going to be presumed upon to pamper the voters' vanity. The position the government has taken in declaring the day of the plebiscite a public holiday cuts the ground from under a number of people wbo might otherwise have said that they did not have a chance to vote. Of the fourteen hundred odd voters registered in Cranbrook, there ought to be at least twelve hundred go to tbe polls to-morrow. TOMORROW'S VOTE What answer is B. C. going to aend to the prairie provinces following the vote on the plebiscite? The eyes of the entire nation are on B.C., waiting to catch the first word as to the result of the voting. What is the reason B. C. waB called upon to vote five days sooner than the other provinces on tbe liquor question? Has it ever occurred to the people gen erally that there may be some sinister suggestion ln regard to the fixing of tbe plebiscite date? What reason prompted tbe government to set October 20th aa the date when B.C. should vote, when three or four other prov- ] inces are voting on other phases of the same question five days later? lt is no secret that the prohibitionists tried to get tbe B.C. vote set for the same day as in the other provinces. There did not seem to be any good reason why lt should not be so. The simple fact of the matter ls that other influences were brought to bear upon the government, and the government was compelled to concede the point. The reason why those opposing the present prohibition act would desire things bo is perfectly clear. Convincing evidence is also furnished here of the presence of a big driving force behind the "moderationists" in this campaign. What difference could it possibly bave made to au ordinary man or woman, or group of ordinary men and women, such as the Moderation League claims it is pure and simple? It was not the Moderation League that set the date for the plebiscite in reality, but the whisky ring of the province. Their line of reasoning was that since prohibition has to some extent been brought into disrepute in this province, It stood some chance of repeal. So far as the prairie provinces are concerned there has been little doubt, even in the minds of the liquor men, that the bone dry vote will carry things. Therefore, they said, let us concentrate on B.C., where we stand a better chance of success. If by chance the government Bale proposal does go through In this province, the liquor Interests are planning to make the utmost possible use of the psychological effect such an an- noucement might have on the prairie provinces. One can im agine how hot the wires would be kept during the intervening five days expatiating on the glo* rlouB news. Present indications, however, seem to show that there is quite a sporting chance that this piece of juggling is likely to react boomerang fashion on the heads of its authors, and that the word which will go forth from this province will be that B.C. is going to keep marching abreast of the times by refusing to take up with the shapeless proposal which has been paraded around as "government con- troi" m WILL IT CEASE? What good reason is there for supposing that the bootlegging evil will be mitigated to any appreciable extent under the proposed government sale plan of dispensing liquor? Is the idea to place the government stores ,so thickly through the province that there will be one of them at everybody's elbow, so to speak? If so there will soon arise conditions worse than at present ten times multiplied. On the other hand, If the government stores are only located every so often, is the bootlegger not going to have just as good a chance of plying his Illicit business as now? If government sale carries the privilege of importation will not be interfered with, but few people are likely to bother with importation when the government takes to dispensing. The only difference so far as bootlegging Is concerned that under government sale conditions the way of the transgressor would be come easier. There is one remedy and one only for the bootlegger, and that ls a good stiff Jail sentence for the second offence, without the option of a fine. "DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE."

His latest statement Is substantially, ithat he ileally didn't say anything in particular. All he was trying to do wns to give the peo- I le of the district a few kind words, and he was greatly surprised at the rumpus caused by his official utterance. The upshot of his remarks and explanations, especially when they are read together with those of Hon. Dr. King subsequently at Nelson, fs that no semblance of a decision has been reached as to 'what road will be built or when it will be built. The 1 rovincial engineer continues to "gather information". This he does, apparently, by asking the partisans of euclt route for their op'ilon of the other one. Tlie answers are then carefully tabulated for presentation to the legislature. As a result of this process the public has acquired a vague notion that the one route is burled In perpetual snow, while the other would have to consist mostly of trestles. Presumably, both of these statements contain an element of slander. But how cun the Government possibly reach a conclusion while subjected to opposing influences of about equal political weight?

CONCERNING CANADA Wliere thousands ot farmers have been cutting the Wheat of the western prairies lately once roamed countless numbers of buffaloes. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was being built across the continent tbe enormous numbers of these, animals were the amazement of the workers. Bat that day Ib gone and now the grain fields linve taken ttie placo ot the grass covered prairie where the animals' fed In millions. A few of the wood variety may still exist ln the tar north, but tbe buffalo as known In the pioneer day is virtually extinct except for the herds in conflenement at tbe government parks in tthe west. The Walnwrlght herd dates back to 1908 when the federal government purchased a herd of 600 animals from a rancher In Montana for $260 each. At that time the Idea the government entertained, was to prevent tbe extinction of the great animals, but so well have they thrived ln captivity Ihat now the herd numbers about, 6000 head, and there are one tthousand bulls that can be sold or slaughtered without endangering the future of the family. Skins of the bison have become very valuable and at recent fur sales In Montreal several heads of ths lordly animals were sold at bugs prices to fanciers. It Is estimated by tbs government that In a very short time the herd will become more than self- supporting, or, In other words, that the number available for sale each year will bring sufficient to maintain the rest of tbe drove. An attempt has been made with considerable success to cross the buffalo with Canadian cattle to produce an animal with a great shaggy skin for robes. The product Is hardy and large and bear s the name of cattalo. It ls being raised on a number of experimental farms.

In outline, Sproat Lake la like the impress of a giant paw, Tbe middle digit. Taylor Arm, runs up fourteen miles to tho mouth of tbe Taylor Itlver. We packed a lunch-basket, and, leaving the women at bome, ael nut early to fish this lonely Inlet We had a gay farewell. Our wives came down to the beacb to see we had everything aboard. Their faith In their husbands' skill with the rod was touching—and they were pro- ralaed fish for noxt day's breakfast Amid smiles and benedictions we were off. Our tackle wu wondrous — tbe tackle of amateurs always Is. We soaked to tbe walat hi the chilly watera of Taylor River. We trolled with worma and splnnera for fourteen miles. We cut on thla aide and we cut on that. We curaed, we prayed. But between the whole huaeh oi e* we bad Mf et a strike, never a hlfe. As the sun dropped the ehfllet hove in sight. On tbe beach awaiting UB were two figures In white. We looked Into each others' eyes and groaned. . "Hulloa! Ilulli.ii I" The cry came Irom u tiny cove. Three fishermen, swarthy as Indian braves, heckolied lis. They had tne most primitive lacklo, a tangle of tin cans und clothes lines. Hut In the bottom of their skiff lay n (learning pile. "We are camping out," Ihey cried, "and our rulch will go bail on our hands. Would you rare for a few f" There wus no answer but a gulp. Four pairs of eager bunds went out end soon five three-pounders end some smaller fry were sung In - our basket "Our luck Is good,' but they'll be useful up at the timid," we said. The whllo-clad figures Imd seen ua now and were waving tholr welcome.' We answered In kind and held aloft our string of benutleB. . Hshermen never Ue, and there was no need to begin. Tbe fish JitBt tuld their own tale. Por three duya wo were complimented untl our advlco was sought by every newcomer. Then one evening a vleltor arrived. He was uneasily familiar. We were ull seated oa the stoop. "You remember our giving nit thoae flab f quoth he. "My boy hu lost a tlnger-rlng. and we wonder Whether by any 'chance ll dropped Into your boat whop we were passing you over the fish." >•-«•■«■» 'rot goodness Bake!' *iclalmed two women's voices In unieon, u tout figures faded stealthily „t). aa/ ***- • Thursday, October 91, 1930 THK CBANBBOOK HEBALD PAGE THREE Too Muck App f aa r is a] mO§"t¥o may •*• «• dangerous cuic M ^ KtUe When the skin is sallow or yellow, the eyes dull, the head aches or sleep broken and unrefreshing, the back aches, or there is a pain under the right shoulder blade—it is an indication that the body is being poisoned by poorly digested and imperfectly eliminated food-waste.

Wll Ham Sloan, Minister of Mines, at a confer- ence between tbe Minister and representatives of tlie leading mining concerns of Hie Province held on Tuesday, October 12. j "Among the deputations wore J.

"The conference was an Informal one on a subject which litis been brought to the attention of the Government on previous occasions. The Minister promised that full conslder- aldon would he given by the Government to the representations made, but no hope that the requests would be acceded 1o was forthcoming. "At present, under the existing system of taxation, no allowance Is made for depletion bf mining properties through ore mined, though the value of properties Is decreased to the ex- ent of what is taken out. "The regulations make provision for certain deductions In compiling the value upon which taxation will be lev- led, but they do not include the deductions urged by the delegation. Allowance is made on capital, where such capital Is raised in tho Province, but such Is of little or no value to the mining operators, the bulk of whose capital comes from outside the province. It was argued that the tax upon such outside capital constituted drawback upon investors who, raiding outside, are yet anxious to assist in the development of the industry hy investing capital therein. The delegation urged Hu-t such deduction should be allowed, no matter where the capital came from."

M4» SIZING UP CHANCES AT ELECTION TIME Practically Certain Tbat When Turmoil of Referendum Dies Down Contest Will Come Following a two weeks' tour through the Interior, part of which was made ln company with Hon. T. D. Patullo, Minister of Lands, Premier Oliver last week paid a flying vis- It back to Victoria, before, starting out on another speeclimaklng itinerary, this time centreing his activities more around his own home constituency. The Premier and the Minister of Lands are Indomitable optimists when It comes to sizing up the chances of the present administration in the election contest thnt Is now ln tho oiling. The Premier expresses himself as bolng very pleased with Uie reception tendered to him and his follengue, and also appreciated the keen Interest which the residents of the Interior sections are taking In all public matters pertaining to the welfare of the province. The Premier professed to see in the reception tendered to him an expression of confidence from the electors in the present administration, and he was convinced, he said, that tiie record of the government, Its policies and -work during the past four years, will receive the overwhelming support of the electors when next the eovernment makes Its appeal to the country. But on Uie Interesting point of Just when this appeal will be made, the Premier is as dumb as ever, merely remarking that he has nothing to say thereon, and that the Government will make Its announcement in due course. Prohibition was a subject which ls Interesting the people of the upper country, the Premier found, and he explained at his meetings the reasons that Impelled the government at this time to submit the referendum that Is being voted on this week—that lt had been understood there would be another vote taken when the men returned from overseas. In this connection the Premier took pains to point out tiiat there was no reason for the belief entertained by some that fn the event of tbe present ,pro- hlblon legislation being rejected, any new legislation to give effeot to government sale of liquor would be some- ting suggested by the Moderationists. These people will ln no sense dictate to te government any form of control, according to the Premier. Hon. T. D. Patullo scouts the assertion of Mr. w. J. Bowser, leader of the opposition, that the people arc tu.d of the present administration, jort will at the next election, retiri tlie Conservative party to power. Whistling in the dark," Is hjv he airily describes Mr. Bowser's claim. ' "It Is my experience dnrlng the past four years that every day the Oliver Govrenment has been growing In tho .public esteem, and that there Is not the slightest doubt ln my mind that when It submits Itself to the electorate again it will be returned by a large majority," declared the Minister of Lands. Tho Minister has It gflured out that the Conservatives have not a ghost of a chance ln the north country, and will loBe two seats now held by that parly ln the dry belt. According to this prediction, the present small Conservative minority of nine will, therefore, be cut to at least six, for ln Fort George and In the Southern Okanagan and Slmllkameen ridings he cannot see anything but a solid Liberal support. The dry belt representative, of the Opposition will go, he considers, because of the aggressive government policy In respect of Irrigation. He told the residents there that It Is the Intention ot the Government to carry ahead Its policy until every acre of land in that section Is under water. "What ia the likelihood of an early election?" the Minister was asked. I can't say, for I don't know myself," replied the Minister, who, however, expressed unbounded confidence that whenever an election le held, the Oliver oovernment will be overwhelmingly sustained.

(2) The aggressive and enterprising spirit of the Canadian farmer coupled with the diversity of climates to be found throughout the Dominion result in a continual branching out into "new lines of agricultural activity. A recent Introduction which has apparently taken vigorous hold and will probably assume important proportions, developing into a commercial industry of magnitude, is the breeding of Karakul sheep, the animal whose young- produce the fur variously known as Porsian lamb, Astrakhan, and Karakul. This breed Is tut little known on the American continent although Interesting experiments have been made with this breed at Pennlac, New Brunswick, and In Pilnce Edward Islanu. The bome of the Karakul sheep Is on the vast sandy deserts of Bokarn, which are largely inundated in the spring hy the river Zeiafchane swollen to overflowing by the accumulation of winter's snow in the Altai Mountains.. Many deep-rooted bushes grow In this region, the tender ahuots oi which form the favor ite food of the sheep In the summer, whilst their berries supply winter forage. For the supply of furs, thc lambs are killed within three days from birth when the wool Is curly, a property lt maintains afterwards in the most humid atmosphere. If thc animal Is permitted to live, the growth gradually becomes straight, losing every vestige of flexure at maturity. In the year 1012 ths Karakul sheep was first Introduced into tbe United States direct from Bokara, and ln the following year small herds were established In Alberta and British Columbia. Here tbey hsve thrived and propagated successfully and give every indication of making the industry In the west permanently profitable. Recently, F. E, Dawley, en inspector of the United States Bureau of Husbandry for New York, who has been running a herd of 45 animals north of Calgary, Alberta, located land in die Kamloops district of British Columbia, on which he proposes establishing a similar ranch. He believes Um district to be Dai- Karakul sheep and lambs. r ticularly adapted to tbe racing of Karakul Bheep on account of its elevation, climate and winter condition* closely approximating the animals* native Bokara In Turkestan. Y.-e» vious to the wai' attempts were made to acclimatize Karakul Bheep In BeU glum and Northern Germany, wltb some success. The climate of c«w tain sections of Canada, however provides more ideal conditions, ani Indications are that the foundation has been laid in thc Dominion fox a new issue in tbe livestock industry which should prove a very profitable llne to Canadian farmers. Before the war almost the entir* Karakul fur crop from Bokara I as Pers ian lamb or Astrakhan, treated and dyed at Leipzig, wh two houses alone received 7S0.0 skins valued at about |2,700,OO0 <* pre-war prices). A fiill-btaodfl Karakul sheep Is worth about S2.000f three-fourths blooded, ,800; halls breeds, $1&0 to $200. Skin.; at (I* present time range from $24 %%, 9M each.

The Government has officially stated "that it has not considered the question of government control" VOTERS The liquor party are seeking to steal a vote. They see that people are disgusted with the lack of administration of the present Act, and they have compelled the Government to ask you to choose between an Act which they have deliberately and maliciously plotted to destroy, and an abstract idea of Government Sale. The liquor party is at the bottom of conditions. They have plotted, but every day of the campaign people are discovering the real position. Don't be fooled by them. Don't be a victim of their plot. Don't be fooled, we say. Do you think the brewers want to prevent the extensive sale of liquor? Certainly Not! They are not out for reform, but for money-money from the rich, money from the poor, money from the wife, money from the kiddies. If Government Sale wins, the "booze ring" will control the Government. VOTE FOR PROHIBITION which the Oovernment will be compelled to enforce.

MACKEZIK KING AM) PARTY IN THE CITY {Continued from Page 1) long enough to find out that that the big interests had special Influence In its findings. According to Mr. King there were at least three ways In which something could be done to reduce the high cost of living. Tlte first was to practice economy In administering tlie government, This year's estimates amounted to seven hundred million dollars, and eventually this burden of taxation would find its way on, to the backB of those least able to bear it. Economy was not to be expected from tlie men now in olllce. however, Mr. King averred. A second way of reducing the high cost of living was by reducing the tariff on the necessities of life, thus relieving tlte consumer, and also by reducing the tariff on instruments of production used In farming. It was still necessary to havo a tariff. Mr. King was careful to add, and the system could not be changed all at once. Taxes on Incomes, on business profits, and on luxuries would not alone yield the reveune, a tariff would be needed for some time to come. The Liberal party believed that the tarlg at present was not ftir. and demanded its revision, not in a way as to destroy any industry, but so as to let the necessities of life escape with the least possible taxation. Relieving farm implements of some of their taxation should appeal to British Columbia, Mr. King thought. Putting a duty on thorn wns the same as taxing capital. Freeing litem would result ln increasing production, benefitting both labor and capital. The farm stood In tbe same position. Unless there was agriculture, the cost of living in the cities would never be reduced. Boys' Knicker Suits We have just received, by express, another shipment of HOY'S KMCKKK SUITS, which we have priced very low. We have been told that our prices and quality are very good indeed. Naturally we are glad to hear this, as It Is our aim to keep our prices aB low as we possibly can, and we have tried never to sell any goods that we could not recommend. We would ask you to examine these SuiU if you are thinking of buying one. AGENTS FOB WILLIS PIANOS SIB THE WILLIS PIANOS NOW HEBE Mr. King's third remedy for the high cost of living was to end profiteering. It should be possible for the government to establish machinery to this end, he asserted. Tlie government claimed to have done n great thing in taking over the Grand Trunk railway system, said Mr. King. The two attractive points about government ownership were the ! lowering of rates and the fact ot pub- j lie control. Did the people think they iowned the (..rami Trunk, he asked? ' Tho fact was that Canada has guaran- j teed to pay the shareholders Interest | for twenty years in excess of the an- ' nual dvidends. At the end of that time the company could take It back ' hy paying five hundred million dol- | lars. The big interests had thus been | fully cared for, and the people's part ■ was to care for the deficit, Bald Mr. I King. The railroad would be administered by a board appointed by a ! government that had usurped the rights of the people. This helped to illustrate the difference between the two parties. The opposition wanted twn representatives of labor on that hoard, but Mr. Melghen had opposed this, according to Mr. King, Each group of the public — fanning, manufacturing and others — should be represented In parliament, but Its representatives should not be there as representatives but as private citizens. There should be party government, but thero ought not to be groups in control of the government. In international relations, Mr. Kfrfg said, the party stood for the same principles. They wanted no secret diplomacy. They wanted the rel'a- tlons between Canada and other countries settled in parliament and not In secret cabinet sessions. The meeting closed with the Blng- fng of the national anthem. Mr. King and bis party left for Lethbrldge on Tuesday morning by the daylight train through the Crow's Nest.
